have you been able to get any of obama world on your side including barack obama? >> the outpouring has been amazing. the grassroots energy. we were able to have huge crowds at these events that we only had one day to build for. the comments from the president's spokesperson were incredibly kind as were senator kaine's words about me in the statement. so i think we're going straight to the voters. the enthusiasm is there, the hunger for someone who's going to fight for working class and middle class folks and that's my track record. you know, in my first race i was 36% behind in the opening and won by 700 votes in a much more conservative district than the state as a whole. i wouldn't be in this race if i didn't think i gave democrats the best chance to win. i believe that. i believe we can give our coalition, the obama coalition a reason to show up while still winning independents, just like we did in '08 and 2010 and i'm excited to go out and make that case, but also to learn from voters. i think that's where the best ideas come from. >> you mentioned 2008. the y

[ applause ] and all that happened before i went back home again to indiana. but i want to say i answered this call for two reasons. first, because i know from firsthand experience that strong republican leadership can bring about real change just like we've seen in the hoosier state, and, secondly, because hillary clinton must never become president of the united states of america.
